A licencing committee at Reading Borough Council made the decision on Friday morning, permitting the restaurant to continue serving alcohol.

However a series of conditions are attached to "ensure something like this doesn't happen again."

Councillor Paul Woodward made the remarks after watching CCTV footage of a large group of Nepalese men involved in a brawl, which required 20 police officers to break up.

Concerns were raised over the level of care taken by licensees Deepak Gurung and Dumbar Bahadur Gurung in ensuring those who were too drunk were no longer served, and over the time they stopped serving alcohol in the evenings.

Councillor Woodward said: "We want you to run a good business, but our main concern is that this doesn't happen again."
